Rita Kozlov of Anthropic argues that there aren't enough CPUs to power all AI agents, forcing a rethink of sandbox isolation architecture — with lightweight isolates proposed as a promising direction. Dillon Mulroy notes she has been predicting this for months. The point highlights a real infrastructure bottleneck for large-scale agent deployment: traditional container sandboxes can't match agent compute demands on cost or density.
